The Summer Schoolyard Market has packed it in for the season, but the local food scene continues to thrive. Warren’s Hope & Main hosts a monthly Meet Your Maker indoor marketplace, where food makers, growers, educators and other food entrepreneurs gather to showcase their delicious goods. It’s a great way to catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the local food manufacturing economy, plus get a taste of what’s cooking at the food incubator. Market-goers can sample food and drinks and shop for delicious specialty goods, all while gaining a better appreciation of how the local food world spins.
